What is your go-to approach for cognitive behavioral therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in cognitive behavioral therapy is to first provide education on what the cognitive model is and discuss the ways clients can implement this model into their everyday lives.

What tools do you teach in cognitive behavioral therapy?

In CBT, I teach cognitive reframing, different ways to challenge automatic thoughts, and also mindfulness to help people become more aware of these thoughts so they can change them.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in cognitive behavioral therapy when they are able to catch their automatic thoughts and are able to acknowledge that they are unhelpful and/or irrational.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement cognitive behavioral therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in cognitive behavioral therapy by using an app, journal, or just a note in their phone to keep track of automatic thoughts they've noticed having between sessions.

What should someone do to prepare for starting cognitive behavioral therapy?

To prepare for their first cognitive behavioral therapy session, an individual can start to notice when they are feeling uncomfortable emotions and try to identify what thought(s) preceded that feeling.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) FAQs

What is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)?

At Thriveworks, Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is a widely recognized and evidence-based form of psychotherapy or talk therapy. It focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns, emotions, and behaviors that can contribute to various mental health issues or challenges that people are struggling with.

What does a cognitive behavioral therapist do?

Cognitive behavioral therapists specialize in Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and can help you to identify and comprehend your thought patterns, which often encompass automatic negative thoughts, cognitive distortions, and self-defeating beliefs. Once these negative thought patterns are pinpointed, cognitive behavioral therapists aim to challenge and replace them with the objective of fostering more constructive and logical thinking. In addition, these therapists place significant emphasis on implementing positive behavioral changes based on the newly established, healthier thought patterns.

What is CBT best for?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is particularly effective for addressing conditions like anxiety disorders, depression, phobias, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. It focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors, making it well-suited for issues related to distorted thinking and emotional regulation.

How much does a CBT session cost?

At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.

What is the success rate of CBT?

The success rate of CBT varies depending on the intentions of the client and their condition(s).

What is better: CBT or DBT?

The selection between cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is based on an individual’s unique needs and challenges. CBT is commonly chosen for addressing conditions such as anxiety and depression, whereas DBT is especially beneficial for individuals dealing with borderline personality disorder, emotional regulation issues, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.

Is CBT conducted in person or online?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with our Thriveworks therapists in North Charleston, SC is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How many sessions is CBT?

Generally, CBT is considered a short-term therapy, typically lasting for about 12 to 20 weekly sessions. In some cases, it might extend to around 16 to 20 sessions for more complex issues.

I get triggered and upset easily at times because of past trauma but Bailey really listens to me and never makes me feel bad about it. Even when I get upset towards Bailey, she helps me get through it and never makes me feel bad for taking it out on her. I've had 4 other therapists before Bailey but this is the first time I feel like I can trust someone with these thoughts and feelings.

★★★★★
What I appreciated most about my experience was how quickly I was able to get connected with care. I reached out to Thriveworks on a Thursday morning, and by that evening I had already completed my initial session. That level of responsiveness made a meaningful difference. Dr. Rampersant was incredibly professional, thoughtful and easy to talk to. She created a comfortable environment, listened carefully and asked insightful questions that made our conversation feel productive from the very beginning. I left the session feeling heard and supported. Based on my experience, I would absolutely schedule another appointment with her and would confidently recommend both Dr. Rampersant and Thriveworks to anyone looking for mental health support. At this point, I don't have any suggestions for improvement. My experience from scheduling through the session was smooth and exceeded my expectations.
